Hi guys, I’m trying to get the topic count and reply count for the current logged in user, so I would like to check /session/current.json
to get both.
topic_count
returns what I’d expect, however reply_count
is very different from post_count
in /u/[username]/summary.json
. At first I thought reply_count
might just exclude the posts you make when starting a new topic, however in my case, the two counts are are 173 and 410 respectively—and the topic_count
is 78. So if that was the case the reply_count
should have been 332.
Could anyone explain the difference between these two metrics and which I should be using to get the actual reply count (which I define as total posts minus topics started)?
Thanks!
